Lyrics are always poems. Here's a chance for you to write a song, if you haven't already. Novice or Pro, you are welcome to enter this contest.
You need to have at least one buddy to co-write with you. Two or more writers are required for all entries. You can recruit a co-writer and co-write over the net. This is what I had in mind.
The First place winner will get 300 points and that song will be recorded. Second and Third places will be noted as normal.

GoodLuck
this contest should be interesting to see what people come up with good luck to everyone -
I am not sure if this is cool or just a trick for a singer with writers block... If it is the first, very cool..
-
I think BOTH very cool "and" interesting
I think it is the first and is very cool. If you love and write music only stands to reason you'd run a music contest plus there are two music groups on AllPoetry. I hope white7 knight gets some good serious entries.
GREAT CONTEST IDEA!!!

Have you a writing partner, are you going for it? Andy
-
I will not enter the songwriters contest, but I hope to collaborate with some later. I prefer co-writing to writing alone. I am a singer/songwriter. This is for fun, and to expand the music of myself and Allpoetry. Andy
-
I am write with hateablecoco110 we made the poem together over msn so we entered the contest
-
Excellent idea, altho I must confess my song writing is appaling. All the best to the rest of you guys who are man enough to enter!
-
You co-wrote "Forbidden Secrets In Drug Room"? Tell me about the style of music you envision it to be. Have you composed a melody?
Andy -
I feel certain you could produce a worthy entry if you can find a co-writer(s). I hope you will try "Write A Song Collaboration".
Andy -
It seems Acid Cool and Hateablecoco110 wrote the first entry together. That makes it currently the only qualified entry. Not encouraging.
Andy -
This is a good idea for a contest, though I'm a little too hidebound today to consider entering it myself.
I know there are many songwriters here who are likely to enter.
I hope you enjoy your first contest.
-
This is a very good idea, but why the need for a writing partner? I'm alway from home and I don't know of anyone that would enter with me...
-
sounds like a neat contest.
-
I'd love to enter but I don't have anyone to colab with so have a great contest everyone & doo well.

God Bless Us All
Hi. Those who don't have someone to collaborate with could choose someone else that has left a comment on here saying he/she doesn't have someone to collaborate with... I noticed Malishez needs someone to collaborate with too. You can just click on your comment to return to contest and then click on commenters' name who commented about not having anybody to collaborate with and visit their author page. Or send an IM to suggest collaborating together.

That's a cool idea
-
Ok I have a buddy but he does not belong to this site will I still be allowed to enter one that we wrote? If not I guess I will try to find a buddy on here!
-
You can recruit a co-writer and co-write over the net. I should have mentioned that, but this is what I had in mind. Andy
-
You can recruit a writer from Allpoetry and write over the net. I would like you to participate in this "Write A Song Collaboration". Andy
-
The co-writer(s) are not required to be members of Allpoetry, but I am certain Allpoetry would like you to recruit them.

PV and I were supposed to do one of these a while back, but it's one of the worst times of the year for him now, and I'm not feeling too creative anyway these days. I'll be anxious though to see the entries. Another good site to add to the one that YesYouCan mentioned is www.poetry.com
This contest is a tall order but I'm sure you'll have some competitive entries!

Beautiful contest...I hope you get a lot of entries!

Sea,
I think I need help with group. Andy -
God Bless You and Me and All
Any time you need me I'm here. I try not to inundate you with suggestions so you can toot your own horn to your own melody. I have been coined "Mother Mary" mothering others. My apologies if you been a recipient. Just know I'm here if you need me and, if not, that's okay too. Just have fun doing "your" thing.

Acid,
I don't know if I replied back, but I would like the recording, but not required. Andy Stephenson; P. O. Box 6202; Norman, OK 73070 USA -
Hey if anyone needs someone to collaberate with them I will gladly work with you and you can keep the points. I have one entry already but if you need someone to help you get into this contest I am on most nights and will surely help you out so you can get into this contest. If that is alright with you Andy!
-
No problem, Wolfy. I can't enter because I don't think it is allowed, I would be bias, and it wouldn't be fair. There is no limit to entries in this one. I could live to regret that statement.
Working on tapes. Should get them in the mail today.
Andy -
hmm is therae a one entry per person thing going on cuz me and a friend we wrote this but he dosent have allpoetry so i can tell him like i entered it i dont think he will mind it all all but the thing is will you mind it anyway cyas later
-
It is not my intent to limit entries. Let me know if there is a problem.
Andy -
My first entry was done with Pringelking and he is not on AP so I dont think that will be a prob you can send him a link to the poem and he will be able to read it!
-
In my contest, a co-writer is required. Membership in AP is desired, not required for co-writer.
Andy -
I do not care to collaborate with other writers, so I will pass on this. Why do you exclude those of us who prefer to work alone?
Edited on Jan 20, 4:37 because ''. -
I am sure others will not mind.
Andy -
The idea was to encourage writers to work together. There are a multitude of contests for those who wish to write alone.
Andy -
I am sort of new here. This is the first song writing contest I have seen.
-
Wolfy and I will have a contest soon which will be open to all who want to enter a songwriting contest.
Andy -
Thamk you!!!
WHOO HOO WE WON!!!

Congradulations winners I picked 2 out of the three that would win So I was doing good there LOL!
